Some big games in the championship today, Tightys team vs QPR on TV should be a cracker. Not sure I want either to win.

Think Barnsely who have a jinx over Leeds and a with their new manager might upset us today and nick a draw. Its a shame its so expensive for the away fans, u gonna listen to it sheriff?

Yes, will be tuning in while visiting family.

Think it might be a bit too soon for Danny to work his magic, so not expecting anything today.

Pissed off that I'm having to miss his first game back, but I'm not paying £36 to watch Championship football anywhere, and Leeds have been charging that for 3 seasons now.

I think we'd sold around 800 tickets as of Thursday, so I'm clearly not the only one.  None of the group of 8-10 I go to games with are going today, that I'm aware of.

Should be huge crowd, gl listening to it Sheriff, may the best team win

Liking the way Boro are playing under this Karanka fella.

Coping with difficult conditions very well.

See that Agent Lomas has been given the boot by Millwall...

Anyone got any fancies for next man in the chair?

[Acidmouse]

Blackpool vs Leeds ref was appalling

Least Charlton got a well needed win.

Did they change much from last year? From memory, without sounding too much of a Palace fan, even though I quite like Millwall, I think Lomas was probably doing a good job to have them where they are.

Leon Clarke wanted by decent championship clubs, the world gone mad?

Look at the number of clubs Clarke has had and it tells its own story.

He can do it in L2, L1 at a push but the Championship is a step too far.

His attitude when with Wednesday was a big, big problem.

He had perhaps 3 games for Wednesday when he was unplayable but in the rest of his time he was very, very average.

Just reading the QPR forum post the Watford game yesterday (which was a dull, cold 0-0).  Didn't realise that there is quite a lot of anti Redknapp sentiment.

On the Watford front, Ranegie and Merkel are close to being done deals.  Sannino has tightened up the defence, but we need a boost up top so perhaps this will be it.

Strange to see that Dung as he has always been quite an attacking manager in Italy

The defence must have been in some state, i suspect he has upped the tempo of the training sessions which may have resulted in the tighter defensive performances.

Blackpool look to have finally ran out of luck, look knackered last few games. Appreciate Gray is not everybodys cup of tea at Sheff Wed but he has tightened them up fancy a 0-0 or 1-0 either way there on Wednesday.

This could add some spice to the game, suspect it is just something leaked by Ince's agents after he got some stick at home yesterday

Yes - not so sure it was a change in the system, more the fact that the defenders had such disasterous lapses in concentration under Zola or were busy passing the ball square across the backline!  He seems to have focused minds a bit more in this regard.

Surprised to see we are only 5 points off the playoffs despite being in awful form for 12 matches.  A crazy league.

[horseplayer]

Mandaric already come out and rubbished the Ince story

[Matt.NFFC.]

Excellent 6 points for us having beaten QPR and Leeds....right in the mix now.

The league table is making me squirm with Leicester and Derby there ugh!!!!

[DungBeetle]

Yes - that felt like a big Xmas for Forest.  They felt like they were dropping away before those 2 big wins, but I expect them to go on a run again now.  I see Davies wants to spend more money again though - he never seems happy that bloke.
